. I have seen Paris Fashion Week again. There were many topics in the 19SS, such as Louis Vuitton and Dior, but my personal best was Sacai. It was a show of the utmost in elegance.
Good to look at , good to use.
I know that many people start out by getting the right equipment, and it seems that I was one of those people. Every day I am researching the tools I need to prepare for the surfing life to come, and one of the essentials is a polyethylene tank for holding water to rinse my body after surfing. One of the must-haves is a polyethylene tank for rinsing the body after surfing.This German-made Fuel can. in other words, it was a fuel container. The rugged, solid design and the military-inspired coloring all score 100 points. It seems to be a major player in Europe, boasting a large share of the fuel tank market. It was a reminder of Germany's strength in the field of product design. The website "Fuel Tanks" has a lot of such German items.GENERAL VIEWCheck out also.

It's not just crocodile polo.
Lacoste is known for its polo shirts, of course, and I am not wrong in that perception, but what I have been personally interested in is its fashionable collection line. The looks from the 18AW show held in Paris were truly amazing. I know it is foolish to compare the taste of fish to that of meat (ex: this Ootoro tastes like steak), but if I were to compare the appeal of this collection line to a Paris Collection brand I just saw, it would be as elegant as " Hermes " and as beautiful and skillful as " Sacai ". I would like to see the line expand more fully in Japan. I was hoping to see more full-scale development of the brand in Japan, but the creative director, Felipe Oliveira Batista, retired at the end of the 18AW season. I have high expectations for the new organization, but it's a shame because his creations were really the best.

The new generation of Itaqazi.
When I look around at my wardrobe, it is admirably conservative: white, black, navy, and sometimes khaki and brown. There is almost nothing playful or adventurous about it, but from an editor's point of view, I love brands with pop and cute colors. The brand at the top of the drawer is Italy's " SUNNEI. The bright and lively color palette, the moderately relaxed shapes, and the occasional peek of humor are all top-notch. Although presented in the form of a runway show, the brand is not at all stuffy, and its casual stance is part of its charm. In addition, the brand has a high quality Italian production background, which makes it so perfect that it would be strange for it not to be a hit. There is an atmosphere somewhat like that of "Marni," but I prefer the relaxed, elbow-to-elbow look of "SUNNEI. By the way, it seems that the name of this brand in Japan has not been decided yet. Is it SUNNEI or SUNNEI? Birkenstock or Birkenstock? Please decide soon.

I recently had my first DNF in trail running. . and it was in a super grass race with about 60 participants. Well, I was reminded that no race is easy in trail running....
By Japanese, for Japanese.
In a long race of over 100 kilometers, the accumulation of small stresses can greatly affect your performance in the second half of the race. . That is why you want to choose a sack that fits your body and does not shake easily. This is where the RUSH UT, developed for ultra trail runners by Japanese manufacturer Pergoworks, comes in. The shape is tailored to the Japanese body shape, and the shoulder and side straps provide a fine-tuned fit. The center of gravity is designed to be high for balance while running, reducing sway during running. The large-capacity pockets on the upper and lower front and sides are also attractive. Above all, the tough appearance unique to X-PAC is beautiful. This is a precise and stylish product that can only be made possible by the Japanese brand "Pergoworks.

Anyway, it is light.
Among trail running gear, headlamps are the ones that are chosen from a gadget point of view. In addition to the fit, lumens, maximum exposure time, battery life, and appearance are also important factors. The "BINDI" from Petzl is a perfect match for the gearaholic in your mind. It has a thin, elastic shoelace-like strap, is easily recharged via micro-USB, is all-weather, and weighs an amazing 35 grams! The beam duration is 100 hours at 5 lumens, 3 hours at 100 lumens, and 2 hours at 200 lumens, which unfortunately is not suitable for long trail running races, but is ideal for night runs during daily training. . Above all, the minimalist appearance due to the thin strap is a nice touch. When I tried it on, it was easy to adjust and lightweight! . I hope they will eventually release a longer version with the same strap specifications.

Authentic looking.
. I usually wear T-shirts with a water-absorbing, quick-drying body. But not the shiny ones made by sports manufacturers, but the ones that feel and look like cotton. If I wear a T-shirt with a water-absorbent, quick-drying body, I can start running as soon as I feel like it, and it dries up unpleasant perspiration quickly. However, it is difficult to find a good-looking T-shirt with such a body. So I went to the Ballistics website and saw that they had one! And they have one printed with the brand's standard military graphics. The design is authentic enough to be used around town, yet functional enough to be used for sports activities. It will be useful for hot summer outdoor events such as festivals and fireworks.

A small collaboration.
For some reason, there are many brands with an "M" in the outdoors. Among them is Marmot, a Colorado-based manufacturer with an adorable name derived from a squirrel family animal that lives in mountainous regions. With its roots in sleeping bags, Marmot was the first outdoor manufacturer to use GORE-TEX, and since its establishment in 1974, it has always led the market as a top-ranked brand in the outdoor scene. In recent years, "Marmot" has been working on a really cool collaboration. The knapsack, with its old-school logo in different colors and designs on the front and back sides, was designed by outdoor style creator Yuri Shikaku. On the other hand, the lightweight, durable, and waterproof anorak is designed by Tomoya Tsuchiya, a leading expert on ultralight hiking. Both are modern without sacrificing the "Marmot" style. The result is really nice.

I was first surprised to hear that even an amateur climber can reach the summit by paying $65,000. The world at 8,000 meters is often referred to as a "world of death," but this book describes the reality in its entirety. No matter how carefully we prepare, the weather makes everything difficult, and it is the providence of nature. The world where oxygen is 1/3 of that on earth is harsh and unforgiving, and I think that is why mankind yearns to reach the heights of 8,000 meters.

The fusion of sports and fashion is not uncommon nowadays, and many brands are tackling this issue by changing their products and services. Stone Island is one of the leading brands in this field. However, the proportion of fashion is high, and the brand is truly sophisticated and elegant. On the one hand, there are clothes that compete with conventional bodies and graphics, and on the other hand, there are clothes that incorporate the casual element of sports into high-quality fabrics. Personally, I found the latter interesting after my business trip to Paris. The same is true of this cap.

It is a well-known fact that high-performance clothing is useful for everyday use. Mountaineering enthusiasts are unanimous in their praise of the 100% merino wool clothing. It dries quickly without being sticky and has the underlying strength of a natural material that does not stink even after days of wear. Many outdoor brands make merino wool garments, but since they are often used as base layers, they tend to be very snug against the skin. But Icebreaker is a New Zealand brand, and this item is for town use, so it is loose-fitting and easy to wear in everyday life. . I thought I would try it out first in town and on my travels this summer.

Good looks , good function.
As a man, there is a "no-fuss aesthetic" when it comes to hair care products, face wash, and skin care. Among these, hair dryers are the most important, and there are many men who have only used cheap hair dryers. However, I have experienced firsthand the difference in the vitality given to hair between a cheap hair dryer and a high-end hair dryer. The high-end dryers developed by Dyson, which fully utilizes the aerodynamics theory cultivated through the development of vacuum cleaners and electric fans, have strong wind power so they dry quickly, but they are not hot, so they do not damage the hair. The high level of functionality is so impressive that a professional hair and makeup artist with whom I worked gave his seal of approval. Each button has a touch of elegance, and the matte black color tickles men's fancy, unlike many shiny designs. The three attachments can be attached and detached with magnets.

The charm of rattan experienced with the hips.
There are often well-designed chairs, but it is hard to find a well-designed and gentle chair. I first encountered the "Stool QS-10," with its rattan seat, in the changing room of a Japanese inn bath. The comfort of the chair, which gently catches the body, is something I have never experienced in any other chair. Of course, Bauhaus and Scandinavian chairs, which mainly use wood, are also good, but I realized the overwhelming appeal of rattan. The anonymous design is also excellent, and the designer is Riki Watanabe, a representative of the postwar period. Somewhat similar to the Barcelona Chair and the Butterfly Stool. Do masterpieces come to resemble each other? Although rattan has a strong Japanese element, I am seriously considering purchasing this chair, as it would go well with almost any interior.

Then, at last, you don't want to cut corners. I have been envious of the commercial-use designs of refrigerators and gas stoves that I have seen at restaurants, but the rugged design of this "Vermo," which was created from commercial-use products, is irresistible. Not only its appearance, but also its functionality is close to that of a commercial stove, with a 10% firepower more powerful than that of an ordinary household gas stove. This 10% is not to be underestimated, especially when you want to make crispy fried rice, etc. It can also boil water quickly.

New Order's album cover on the boot.
The other day, I went to a "Dr. Martens" exhibition. The first thing that caught my eye was a pair of 8-hole boots made in collaboration with the British band New Order, printed with artwork from their 1983 album "Power, Corruption & Lies," and the slightly cracked upper was superb! For me, New Order and its predecessor, Joy Division, are best known for the movie "24 Hour Party People" (2002), which depicted the music scene in Manchester in the 1980s, and for a while after I saw the movie, I listened to a lot of music from this area. Now that I think about it, seeing Happy Mondays at Fuji Rock is also a great memory (laughs). I digress for a moment, but this collaboration is only possible with "Dr. Martens," which has deep ties to the music scene.

When I saw the Mona Lisa T-shirt on first delivery, I intuitively thought, "I like it! Surround," which I had been intuitively thinking about ever since I saw the Mona Lisa T-shirt in the first delivery. Mr. Fukuda, the designer of this brand, is also the designer of Good Or and has been involved in the direction and buying of select stores. Perhaps it is because of his career, but I personally believe that he has an excellent sense of smell that sensitively perceives the trends of the times, or a sense for accurately grasping what people want at the moment. This T-shirt is no exception. The silk-screen prints, which feature Tetsuya Nagato's artwork on the full surface, have beautiful color gradations created by layering several layers of paper. On the other hand, the body of the T-shirts is made from existing materials, and the artist has been able to cut corners where necessary. The "Surround" T-shirts have just the right amount of sophistication, and they perfectly reflect the mood of the moment. Art T-shirts are all the rage, and I think it's safe to say that this is the real deal.

By setting the size of the wallet to the size of a card, it reduces the amount of coins piled on top of each other. The snaps, zips, and other parts that can easily get caught in pockets are kept out of the way. The simple design is also attractive. I would like to use it and make it taste better and better.

Anyway, it is compact.
In the calendar year, the rainy season is my least favorite time of the year . Everyone hates the continuous rain and dampness. . Moreover, having to carry an umbrella at all times is also a hassle. I was surfing the Internet looking for an umbrella that would solve these problems, and I finally found one. This umbrella is made by an outdoor brand called "Seat to Summit," so its toughness goes without saying. And what's more, it is lightweight and compact. Weighing only 150 grams and measuring 16 centimeters in length, it is about the same size as an iPhone and can easily fit in a pants pocket, making it easy to carry around. It can be used in emergencies such as the guerrilla downpours that have become popular in recent years.

When the weather gets nicer, you want to go outside. Perhaps that is why I have been thinking exclusively about outdoor gear lately. Jackets are one of them. I'm currently using a completely waterproof one, but it still gets stuffy and I wonder, "Do I really need such specs?" I think, "Do I really need that kind of spec? I want something that is water repellent, and I want to wear it smoothly. That is when I found this anorak jacket from "Tilak. In addition to being windproof and water-repellent, the kangaroo pocket can hold a lot of stuff. It is also packable, so it can be stowed away in a small bag. It's perfect for travel, too.

I want to eat cold noodles.
Do you have cool summer tableware? The tableware from Journal Standard Square, Fresco, and Ameharu by Aotoshiro is just that. Just by looking at them, it seems as if your body temperature will cool down. It may be hard to tell from the picture, but the translucent color is also a nice touch.
